The Perception in Action Research Centre

Research at the Perception in Action Research Centre explores the way humans perceive and interact with the world. We examine the neural and cognitive mechanisms that allows us to perceive
and process our environment, make decisions, and select appropriate actions. As part of the Faculty of Human Sciences, the centre bridges the research gaps between the Departments of Cognitive Science and Psychology.
